my stomach hurt


Sometimes you come along something that is just so great that you have to share. Yesterday I found this website http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/. I don't think something online has made me laugh so hard in years! Some of my favorites are on moleskin notebooks, indie music, and unpaid internships.

I think I might just have to by the book...

I think I have a problem

About two weeks ago I became a little sick, which for those who don't know, is the perfect opportunity to do nothing productive and watch an entire season of a show. The show of choice??

I had never seen the show before but had heard many a great thing about it...and to my delight they were all true. The problem you ask? Is it the fact that after my initial sick day I somehow managed to watch all 3 seasons and the current episodes online in 10 days? No, the problem is the fact that I found (well find)this person surprisingly attractive:

But not this one:

Anyway else worried that I find the charismatic killer somewhat fortunate in the attractiveness department but I didn't find the nerdy but somewhat socially awkward boy attractive?

P.S. I think it is the fact that he sometimes wears the square glasses...

7 days 27 posts...

I am well on my way to not completing my goal of 34 posts. My justification (because you know I have one) is that my internet was down for several days this month and it was midterm season (which went over rather smoothly this year).
On the plus side now I only have 26 posts to do this week...yay!

The 10 Year Plan...



In one of my classes we have been talking a lot about place and time and how we as humans deal with such topics (I know I have a fluffy major). The discussions have often brought up the fact that many of us make "10 year plans" or year plans. We are always thinking about where we want be and when we want to be there. Personally I can't remember a time where I didn't have some sort of plan for the future. The first time I actually wrote down my 10 year plan though was when I was 12 (luckily the journal that contained that plan was destroyed some time ago). In a short few weeks I will near the end of those 10 years and while my life has turned out much differently than the 12 year old wanted it to (I thought I wanted to be an actress...this ended when I realized I didn't like getting in front of large groups of people) it feels very strange.

As I contemplate the next 10 years of my life and where I want it to go I have thought about how the past ten years I have been living for the future and maybe the next ten I should try to enjoy the present a little bit more instead of what might happen tomorrow.

P.S. I found the calender here

Dear Comcast..




Dear Comcast,

Thank you so much for understanding my stupidity. After calling you several times about how the internet is slow/isn't working/the router is broken, I still needed this description of what the router was, "it is the one with the antennas...like a bug." Not only did you need to tell me it was the one with the antennas but you also let me know what antennas are (I had no idea until you told me it was like a bug).

Additionally I really appreciate after I tell you that I am having a problem with the internet service you are providing me that you try to upsell your other amazing services. What would I do without you guys?

Thanks a bunch-
A really stupid girl...

the soundtrack of my life...



Often I find songs that I like, rarely I find songs that I can listen to over and over again and still be impressed by them. Today I "refound" one such song, Going North (Do you italicize songs? or do you put quotes around them?) by one of my all time favs Missy Higgins. It just seemed like a summation of my day/week/month/year/dreams/fears/loves. If someone was compiling a soundtrack for my life I hope this song would be on it.
